[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3567) Offline install instructions are very unclear

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3567?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13192658#comment-13192658 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-3567:
----------------------------------

FWIW, the line you changed is the only occurrence of "JBoss Central Site *zip* file" (no period prefix on .zip), where all other 5 occurrences are for "JBoss Central Site *.zip* file" (with a period).

Since that's a single character to change, I don't really care. Only mentioning it because I CTRL-F'd for your change and couldn't find it. :D

There's also one occurrence of "JBoss Central .zip file" (the "Site" is missing). 

So... IMHO the doc's OK, but there are these two minor typos that could be fixed in the JBDS 9.1 or a future 10.0 version.

I can't speak to [~mmusaji]'s original usability complaint, however.

> I came across this - https://access.redhat.com/articles/1367643. I'm puzzled by the instructions on here and what this page is meant to do.
> Firstly there's no mention at all of downloading the ZIP from the CSP. https://access.redhat.com/jbossnetwork/restricted/listSoftware.html?product=jbossdeveloperstudio&downloadType=distributions
> I don't know what the groovy stuff is meant to do, installing and setting up a local maven repo is not in the scope of a JBDS set up but I believe either way it's wrong for this page.
> Part 2 talks about "You can install the JBoss and third-party plug-ins listed in JBoss Central in offline mode using the JBoss Central Site .zip file" but then doesn't mention where to download these zips (CSP).
